I tried hot cross buns from Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S, Aldi and Asda - and there was a clear winner

With Easter approaching, there are some of delicious treats appearing on the shelves of supermarkets which us Brits love to enjoy at this time of year - and hot cross buns most definitely fall into that category.

Sweet, spicy and delicious, these delicacies are wolfed down in there millions each year. And that is no exaggeration - Marks & Spencer alone sold 48 million of them last year. That is roughly one for every adult in the UK, from just one supermarket.

There are also more and more new flavours appearing, from salted caramel to chocolate orange, or banoffee to date, pecan and coffee. But, for the purposes of this review - carried out by BirminghamLive - we have stuck with normal buns from M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Asda.
